Went over to firthmoor ponds for 3 hours whilst my mate took his daughter to swimming lessons, wouldn't of normally bothered but fancied a change and beats being sat at home..
Opted for the waggler with single white/red maggots, and from the off I was pulling Rudd out for the fun..
98 Rudd, 3 perch and 3 gudgeon.

Nothing big but good sport!
Once my mate got back we went pike fishing, that was the plan all along but cause of swimming our plans had to change.. Anyway off to our chooser venue for a few hours (won't name where as I dont like saying on an open forum when it's about pike but sure most will know)
Got there set up and within 10 mins was into a pike, nothing big but I love summer piking, the tail walking is awesome, anyway got it in and weighed it and it was 4.04lb

Bit more time past and managed to bank another! This time at 5.15lb

Then another come run! And felt a bit different? Got it close to the edge and seen flashes of red! That's when I knew I was into a nice perch, a personal best perch! Weighed a nice 2.09lb.. Not a uk record but I was well over the moon
